nompA encodes a PNS-specific, ZP domain protein required to connect mechanosensory dendrites to sensory structures.

Neuron - 1 Feb 2001

Chung Y D, Zhu J, Han Y, Kernan M J

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the no-mechanoreceptor-potential A (nompA) gene, which eliminate transduction in Drosophila mechanosensory organs, disrupt contacts between neuronal sensory endings and cuticular structures. nompA encodes a transmembrane protein with a large, modular extracellular segment that includes a zona pellucida (ZP) domain and several plasminogen N-terminal (PAN) modules. It is specifically expressed in type...
